"<p>The distribution of kits to protect against biochemical warfare  has begun in Israel, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai told Yahoo News,  noting that the distribution is not linked to any imminent threat.<br />\n<br />\n&quot;We  have equipped ourselves with millions of protection kits against biological or  chemical warfare, and a massive distribution program for the population started  today,&quot; Yahoo News reported Vilnai as saying.<br />\n<br />\n&quot;Every family in Israel can  receive these kits at home and be instructed on how to use them by Israeli  postal workers, at an average cost of 25 shekels (five dollars), or pick them up  free of charge at post office counters.&quot;<br />\n<br />\nEight million new gas masks,  enough for each Israeli citizen to have one mask, will be completed by 2013  following a January 5 decision by the Israeli government. Seventy thousand  residents of Or Yehuda, near Tel Aviv, received their masks in  February.<br />\n<br />\nThe distribution of the defense kits follows a recent quote to  the Islamic republic's Fars news agency by an aide to Iran's supreme leader  Ayatollah Ali Khomenei that the country would use missiles to attack Tel Aviv if  the nation comes under attack.<br />\n<br />\n&quot;If the enemy takes its chance and fires a  missile towards Iran, the dust from an Iranian missile strike will rise in the  heart of Tel Aviv even before the dust from the enemy attack settles&quot; in Iran,  cleric Mojtaba Zolnoor told the news agency.</p>"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
